MAN UP OR SIT DOWN. Ok. Pls sit down.

The 14 Most Annoying Pet Peeves

The sad truth is that some of us do things that others really can't stand. We all have pet peeves and they can be a little strange but here are some that I would literally prefer listening to nails on a chalk board over.

1. Repetitiveness.

Do not tell me the same thing four times. Do not ask the same question when I have already answered it.

2. Getting irrelevant and vague answers to direct questions.

When I ask a simple, fairly direct question do not tell me some annoying story about how Jack tripped when he was trying to tie his shoe two days ago. What does that have to do with whether or not my mother bought me new shoelaces? NOTHING.

3. When someone speaks to me within the first minute of my arrival.

Let me put my stuff down first at least.

4. When people don't dress in a flattering way for their body type.

This grinds my gears so much. It doesn't make sense to me how people look in the mirror and think, these pants fit so well, when they actually cause a muffin top and show crack when they walk. I understand that clothes are pricey and sizing up sucks but come on!

5. Poor punctuality.

The only thing worse than poor punctuality is when it is compounded by a lack of communication. If you're running behind let the other party know. OR JUST BE ON TIME.

6. Other drivers.

Whether they're slow, bad, or just refuse to use turn signals other drivers suck.

7. Walking on the wrong side of the sidewalk.

Update: We walk on the right side. Please stop walking into me or doing that thing where we both go the same way then switch the same way like ten times awkwardly.

8. People who keep up with their social media too much.

I do not care what food you eat unless you eat a sundae out of the holy grail.

9. People who avoid confrontation.

MAN UP OR SIT DOWN.

10. People who are too confrontational.

Ok, pls sit down. Unless you're the one running Wendy's twitter account because you're my idol.

11. Gross toilets.

Like seriously, how do you miss?

12. Oblivious people.

Stop pretending you don't know. You know. We all know you know.

13. Frivolous spending.

I'm sorry but I refuse to pay $100 for jeans just because they are named Miss Me. Ridiculous.

14. Being stereotyped

No explanation necessary.

If you or someone you love happen to be guilty of these annoyances, just know that it is never too late to change.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
